Mr. Mikhail (Mike) Goldin was born in Moscow, Russia in 1982, but has lived in the U.S. since 2000. Prior to joining the LU faculty in 2008, he taught chemistry and mathematics part-time for five years at Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek, Michigan. His research interest is in studying the electrochemical aspects of interaction of porous and surface-modified electrodes with aqueous solutions and other media and electrochemically controlling this interaction. Mr. Goldin is currently working on his doctoral research in chemistry through the distance Ph.D. program at Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia in Moscow. The majority of his laboratory research is taking place LU's Biology/Chemistry Department. His passion is teaching chemistry in a way that makes sense and glorifies God. Therefore, he has an abiding interest in chemical education and in integrating the Biblical worldview into his teaching. His other interests are creation science, theology and practical Christian living in the context of marriage.
